Journalism doesn’t effect change,
events do; but it’s the telling of the
events to the public that makes it
wake up to necessary change, said

Socialists
request
granted
HOUSTON (AP) — A federal
judge on Monday granted a request
by the Socialist Workers Party to
convene a three-judge federal court
to decide if a portion of the Texas
election code requiring the listing of
names of political donors is constitu
tional.
U.S. District Court Judge CarlO.
Bue refused, however, to temporar
ily stop enforcement of the code
pending hearings and a ruling by
the three-judge court.
The Socialist Workers Party al
leged in the suit that listing of names
and addresses of persons who give
the party money causes the donors
to suffer harassment from the public
and police agencies.
Party members refused comment
on Judge Bue’s ruling.
tigative reporter in Washington,
DC.
Speaking in the keynote address
of the annual Conference for Texas
Junior College Journalists, Adams
told the three qualities of a good
investigative reporter; a sniff sense
or nose for the news, curiosity and
retrospect.
“It’s noticing an article in your
local paper and realizing that the
same thing is happening some
where else, ’’ Adams said. “It’s read
ing news articles about an event and
wondering why the slant you see
hasn’t been written about before.
It’s finally looking back over all the
facts so far uncovered and deciding
that the story is much deeper than
anyone else has portrayed it. ’’
To Adams, investigative report
ing gives a journalist a chance to
write, not just report, “To give the
reader something to identify
with . . . through the use of
metaphor and irony. You’re not
read like the afternoon paper, but
like something that will stick with
the reader.’’
The conference, hosted annually
by the journalism department, also
featured James Meagher, assistant
managing editor of the National Ob
server; Tommy Miller, Houston
Chronicle reporter op the
Huntsville prison story, and Shelby
Metcalf, Aggie basketball coach.
